After the Storm : The Story Behind the Painting

"After the Storm" is an energetic, windswept floral focusing on primary colors that complement the theme of the fundamental elements of nature. The storm has just passed; the sun is bursting forth again. These are vigorous flowers, used to surviving and thriving amidst the storms and challenges of life. The diagonal composition adds to the lively dynamism of the scene.

This painting is an exploration of the contrast between the delicate appearance of flowers and their resiliency. I choose tulips as the main flower because of their hardy nature, and in appreciation of their appearance amid the snow here in Bozeman, MT.
